Norwegian Air cabin crew union calls for strike at Charles De Gaulle

Norwegian Air's largest cabin crew union in France has called for a strike from April 24 to April 26, seeking higher pay and better working conditions, a union representative said Saturday. UNAC union representative Anastasia Durand said the union represents 70% of the airline's 158 cabin crew based at Charles de Gaulle, from where Norwegian has 4 or 5 flights per day. Durand said there had been no formal vote for the strike but the union had sounded out staff and there was general support for the action. She didn't say if any talks were planned with the company. Norwegian, which flies directly from Charles de Gaulle airport mainly to destinations in the US, including New York and Los Angeles, was not immediately available to comment. <br/>
